Okemo Mountain Resort - Sat 4/15 - Okemo is my favorite mountain and they did a great job yet again this year. So thanks to everyone there for a great year, and especially the snowmakers and the groomers. Their grooming is just hands down the best, and they always have the best conditions in Southern Vermont as a result.
If you are going there for their closing day on Easter, they have tons of snow left. Jackson Gore was the best with barely any obsticals and faster snow. Just watch out for over the blind ledges on some of the steeper trails as there is some dirt and rocks in places. The snow was a little sticky in the flats, but the trails themselves were not that bad.Copyright: TheBrambster

Okemo Mountain Resort - Overall good skiing for April. Sluggish on sun exposed areas but better on the sides in tree shadows. Snow from recent storm is melting in earnest, but still plenty left. They closed Solitude mid day. They were doing maintenance on the Sunburst Six stopping the lift for 5 minutes plus per ride. I realize the staff is ready to call it a season and just want to go home, but it would be better if they did lift maintenance after 345 instead of doubling the ride time for those of us that are still skiing.

Okemo Mountain Resort - Sun 5/2 - Never frozen up overnight, so it started like firm mashed potatoes, by 11 it got buttery and then the clouds burned off. It was beautiful mild and sunny, but when it got to around 45 degrees around 1 pm, the powder became as sticky as I've ever seen it. Granular works for warm days, powder doesn't. if you are coming Monday, wax your skis and boards, start early, ski the shadows if it's sunny, and only hit glades and steep trails when it starts sticking. The morning was pretty awesome, the afternoon was a slog. Glades were all open and outstanding with few obsticals, but you probably won't see them open again until December after tomorrow. Coverage is wall to wall everywhere, and for bump skiers, probably as good as it gets where umgroomed.Copyright: TheBrambster

Okemo Mountain Resort - Best day in the East coast for me today. foot of powder, 0 lift lines. stay home everyone!! :) Copyright: anonymous

Okemo Mountain Resort - Tue 3/14 - The snow was very fine most of the day and is firm-ish, not the type of stuff you sink deep into, but it's pushy and not the wet type of firm. Winds were howling in the top 1/5 of the mountain and blowing off the surface in places, but the lower 4/5 was all there. Places like Solitude were deepest due to the lower place in the mountain. South face looked untracked due to the snow and wind resurfacing the trails. There were wind waves though in places.
Gotta give it to Okemo for keeping all but 1 regular lift going in blizzard conditions. Jackson Gore bubble shut down due to mechanical issues in the afternoon. Nearby another mountain only had one top lift yet again for a powder day. Okemo is also opening an hour early tomorrow as a treat. Big kudos for the effort, and that's why I keep coming back.Copyright: TheBrambster

Okemo Mountain Resort - The soft snow has gone back to being hard packed with the dropping temperatures. Conditions are solid for this time of year. It was a great week for us.Copyright: jf

Okemo Mountain Resort - Sat 2/25 - Wow, what a difference a week makes. Warm today and the surface was a mix of mashed potatoes, granular, and a little bit of chunk, not the typical Spring surface...and it's still February of course. it's good enough above freezing for now to hit it, but the top 1/4 of the mountain is starting g to show a lot of the granite obstacles that typically appear in late March. Let's hope the keep those compressors around for an extra week because the bottom 3/4 of the mountain has plenty of snow, but the top won't last much longer without some help. For now it's fine. In days below freezing there will be some large ice patches due to the massive amount of melting that they have had. Let's hope their groomers and snowmakers can work their magic and extend things into mid April. Same goes for probably everywhere else in the Northeast. Fingers crossed.Copyright: TheBrambster
